Discussion
The comfortable air mass of the past couple of days will give way today to warmer and more humid conditions following the passage of a warm frontal system. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to break out late today and continue tonight ahead of an approaching cold front and some of the thunderstorms can be strong with the potential of heavy rainfall. High pressure will build to our north by the weekend and this should lead to decent late week weather and likely a decent weekend.
